Pregnancy can take its toll on your body, the further along you get. Many mothers-to-be feel increasingly heavy and tired, experiencing swollen legs and ankles, varicose veins and fluid retention, particularly in warmer weather. Wearing good compression socks or tights can help encourage better circulation, but regular nylon-based compression isn’t always that comfortable over long periods and can be very hot and sticky.However, Milkteds® Maternity Compression Open Toe Socks can make all the difference, helping to support your legs with graduated compression at 18-22 mm Hg, British Standard Class II, but also remaining cool and comfortable, made from breathable, soft and smooth milk fibres.That’s right, milk fibre, developed from the proteins of pure drinking milk and containing natural amino acids that make Milkteds® easy to wear and great for your skin. Milkteds® actually nourish and soften skin, as well as being antibacterial and anti-fungal to keep bad bacteria at bay. They’re also hygroscopic, meaning Milkteds® can absorb and evaporate moisture, keeping you cool, dry and healthy.Milkteds® Maternity Compression Open Toe Socks are manufactured to the highest standards in Italy, and are seamless. They have an innovative 3D knit with added micro massage soles, zonally mapped to provide the most stimulating effect. The Open Toe design, that allows you to wear peep toe shoes or sandals with your Milkteds® has a soft comfort cuff opening at the foot and a ‘Stay-Put’ non-restricting cuff at the top.Milkteds® are easier to wear and to put on than most compression socks. Despite their exacting graduated fit, they are easily pulled on by rolling from the toes and towards the knee. If Milkteds® then seem to be slightly long, gently smooth downwards and adjust to your lower leg length, trying to avoid any folds or creases along the leg.You can look after Milkteds® by regular washing in cold water and gentle soap, or a machine wash on a 30° gentle wash cycle, as it helps restore elasticity, maintains the compression factor and prolongs the milk fibre’s lifespan. Wash in a wash bag, avoiding the use of fabric conditioners and bleach, and don’t iron or dry clean. Air-dry Milkteds® whenever possible, or use a tumble dryer set to low heat.Milkteds® recommend sock replacement after three months’ regular use, or six months’ occasional use, ensuring that the level of compression remains correct for your legs.If you want to give them as a caring maternity gift, Milkteds® come appealingly packaged in a cute little milk carton design box.(04/15)
